Easy Populate CSV with 1.3.9x ?

[schoolboy]

I am sure that virtually all of my product descriptions have paragraph breaks in them. -- i.e. "<p>" I am not really wanting to have to change thousands of descriptions if I don't have to.

You misunderstand... <p> is a HTML tag and is ONLY recognised in a browser as representing a paragraph break. I am referring to FORMATTED text that is formatted in a word processing program, for example.

The following "product description text" - full of HTML tags - would load just fine using easy populate...

<div><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.<br /><br />Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.<br /><br >Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.<ul><li>Excepteur sint <em>occaecat</em> cupidatat non proident.</li><li>Excepteur sint <em>occaecat</em> cupidatat non proident.</li><li>Excepteur sint <em>occaecat</em> cupidatat non proident.</li><li>Excepteur sint <em>occaecat</em> cupidatat non proident.</li><ul>Sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</p></div>

... because it is actually UNFORMATTED.

If you were to notice the following in your excel spreadsheet, then you would probably have problems...

<div><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.<br /><br />Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.<br /><br >Duis aute irure 

dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.<ul><li>Excepteur sint <em>occaecat</em> cupidatat non proident.</li><li>Excepteur sint <em>occaecat</em> cupidatat 

non proident.</li><li>Excepteur sint <em>occaecat</em> cupidatat non proident.</li><li>Excepteur sint <em>occaecat</em> cupidatat non proident.</li><ul>Sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</p></div>

See the GAPS between the "paragraphs"?

They are indicative of word processor formatting - possibly a LINE BREAK or a PARAGRAPH BREAK.

In my FIRST sample, everything just runs on as one long "string" of text...

Thanks for the help. I have it working now.
